Clarins Summer 2017 Bronzing & Blush Compact ($42 CAD):
Housed in a stunning limited edition round compact bearing embossings of hibiscus flowers and palm leaves, this is a giant 20g bronzer with four distinct shades. When blended, the colors provide a subtle and natural light bronze with just the tiniest bit of sparkles. The formulation is buildable and blendable and the texture is so silky and fine.

| Clarins Summer 2017 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette |
Clarins Summer 2017 Limited Edition 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette ($45 CAD):
Housed in a special-edition golden compact with a translucent tropical lid, this is a four-shade eye quad with a satin pearly beige, a pale golden sparkle, a shimmery golden orange, and a shimmery sandy brown. Both the brown and the orange are pigmented and creamy but the beige is slightly sheer. The gold, on the on the hand, is shockingly sheer and hard. Clarins usually has some amazing shadows but the gold in this palette was a huge miss. Had it been a creamy and pigmented gold, this palette would have been perfect!

Available in two summer-friendly metallics, the Waterproof Eye Pencil features a creamy smooth formulation that glides along the lashline with no effort at all. "
06 Gold" is a dull metallic gold that's super pigmented and opaque while "
07 Copper" is a bold shimmery copper-gold that's slightly more sparkly than "06 Gold". I was a bit worried about the wear given the colors are so shimmery but these are very smudge-proof!
